There’s always a bigger, badder monster, isn’t there? In Venom: The Last Dance, that bigger, badder creature is Venom’s creator, Knull, whose name apparently must not be spoken. He’s coming to Earth because the delightful Eddie Brock/Venom duo (both played by Tom Hardy) has something he wants.
Love? Chemistry? Symbiotic bliss? Probably it’s something less nice, but those things are the reasons why we’re here for these movies. The Venom films are the unlikeliest of charmers, but Tom Hardy has been pulling off this weird symbiotic magic since the first film arrived in 2018. The trailers for this third film really, really want us to believe our bonded heroes are facing a tragic separation, but this is still a Marvel product. I simply refuse to believe that end will be 100% final.
Here’s the brief synopsis for Venom: The Last Dance:
In Venom: The Last Dance, Tom Hardy returns as Venom, one of Marvel’s greatest and most complex characters, for the final film in the trilogy. Eddie and Venom are on the run. Hunted by both of their worlds and with the net closing in, the duo are forced into a devastating decision that will bring the curtains down on Venom and Eddie’s last dance.
The final Venom film is written and directed by Kelly Marcel, who wrote the first two (and also created the TV series The Changeling). Hardy and Marcel came up with the story together. Chiwetel Ejiofor, Juno Temple, Rhys Ifans, Peggy Lu, Alanna Ubach, and Stephen Graham co-star this time around.
Venom: The Last Dance is in theaters October 26th.
